Flowcharts & Pseudocodes!

The storm of assignments begins,

In the previous night, I spent a good time improving my Small Basic skills again. Additionally, I started to look further on to Turtle Graphics. In the end, I changed the backgrounds, added shapes, and re-positioned a turtle.

In this fine morning, I luckily made it to center earlier than usual. Therefore, I spent time making minor improvements to my U30A4 report and submitted it into the 'Students Write Area'. This is the completion of the Graphics Unit for me. I felt accomplished as all the work necessary for final submission are all gathered into one folder. At the start of the day, "Jovial John" did the register and the Thursday Quiz by using procedural programming language on the board. This somewhat wakes us up and also gets the job done. Very effective overall. As a result, Sami got the lowest score and are nominated for next weeks quiz maker. Furthermore, Euan won and got the dual monitor. I felt somewhat sorry for Adam M as he lost the dual-ness...

Moving on, the "Jovial John" made a program within Small Basic known as "guess the number simple" - we all tried to understand the features used and attempted to create a flowchart and pseudocode in no particular order. I had a little experience on flowcharts and felt more confident on it, therefore I started it first. The "Jovial John" calmly told us that by understanding flowcharts, it'd be beneficial and help us interpret pseudocodes much more easier. (lol nope :P) At the end of the task, I understood flowchart much more and simplified it. Moreover, I also started to look at pseudocode and I am determined to be comfortable at it.

Understanding iteration and IF statements

Afterwards, "Jovial John" explained to us assignment 1's task 1, task 2 and task 3. Originally, I understood it until my brain stopped working. Which meant as a result, I went back to "Jovial John" and bowed down before him so he could re-explain the tasks. Finally, I understood the requirements and necessary formats and layout. Thus I will be starting when I return home with all the notes I made. However, whilst I was creating notes, many other students have started their assignments, which means I am somewhat a little behind (which isn't a problem as we're promised that most of Monday will be focused on the tasks).

At the end of the day during self-study, I created more daily laughs/banter that summaries what we learnt today in a humorous way. (I will edit them in the blogs). Afterwards, I felt satisfied and decided to work on my personal drawings. Here's a little story about me: I would like to draw manga and create anime one day as one of my personal life goals! So overall, the day went a little bumpy sometime throughout the day, but I went back and paved the path straight to make sure I'll walk smoothly.
